Does anyone have a test case to identify how Oracle comes up with ESTIMATED_OPTIMAL_SIZE / ESTIMATED_ONEPASS_SIZE / EXPECTED_SIZE in V$SQL_WORKAREA and V$SQL_WORKAREA_ACTIVE.

Trying to fool the optimizer with fake Table statistics doesn't seem to change it's estimate (however, I can't fake the Table Segment Size !). (Tests in 10.2.0.4 on Linux).

I wonder how it computes the Estimated/Expected sizes.
